Why chimney sweep gets documented this closely in Malibu
Fire-zone inspections close with a dated record of cap and arrestor condition, since ember exposure is the detail most likely to slip by between visits. That annual documentation is what confirms the protection holds for every home in the zone. Visits here usually cover complete creosote and soot removal, smoke chamber deep cleaning, and hepa-filtered vacuum - no mess guaranteed, and each item goes into the report so the scope matches the chimney's actual condition instead of a flat-rate guess.
